I'm had a GREAT TIME in Cancun with my husband! We walked miles and miles every day. We swam in the wonderfully warm and clear water. We lounged - in hammocks, in beach chairs, on our balcony looking out over the water. We read and read and read (I finished 4 books). We ate delicious tacos at the 24 hour taco stand down the street. We visited Chichen Itza, which, for me, an archaeological anthropology major with a concentration in Mesoamerica in college, was a dream come true.

| We did a lot of beach sitting |
 |
| We visited Chichen Itza on the Equinox - a big day for a culture that reveres the sun. |

| We stopped to eat at a restaurant/artisan center/hotel on our way to Chichen Itza. This is one of the hotel rooms - no beach, but I would LOVE to stay in something like this! |
And I took the time to do something I don't do nearly as much of as I'd like to do - cruise quilt blogs! It feels so good to not have something else I SHOULD be doing so I can enjoy doing what I WANT to do! And look what I found!
A Scrap Quilt Challenge! I love scrap quilts and I love challenges, so I'm IN! Is anyone else doing this one?
One thing I looked for online was shadow quilts. Remember that I made one but it just didn't excite me?
 |
| I just can't get excited about this quilt. |
I want to make another, and these excite me much more:

| Wouldn't this look cool with some orphan blocks? Photo credit |

| Those double shadows and geese make it so much more interesting! Photo credit |
 |
| Love that the shadow extends to the border and the diagonal edges on the shadows! Photo credit |
Now that I am home, I just want to go down into my sewing room and SEW!
